The 911 GT1, a cutting-edge endurance racer with a mid-engine design and turbocharged power, was one of Porsche’s most advanced GT cars of the era. Collard, an experienced endurance driver, and von Gartzen, a skilled GT racer, worked together to extract the maximum performance from the car against fierce competition from McLaren, Mercedes, and other manufacturers. The Nürburgring round of the FIA GT Championship was a crucial battleground in the 1997 season, highlighting Porsche’s continued pursuit of excellence in GT racing.
